Now, if we change the program while it is running, is it going to change the program on disk? I.E., once I've hotpatched this thing, can I rely on the patch "sticking" when I shutdown and reload my program? My understanding of this is rudimentary, so I want to make sure that I understand (even though I don't see a use case for me).
